the conversation running the romney campaign and the conversation running the romney transition is two different worlds. obama is more complicated a by don't have that many conversations but i honestly believe he's not that dissimilar and it's a very different conversation than the one you have with jack or whoever is really thinking through what obama would actually do in the november and december of this year and in the first six months of next year so i don't think it's impossible. i think maybe it's just the way we have to conduct ourselves which is to pick it extremely quickly and get about the business of governing. i don't buy the argument that partisanship is so bad you couldn't get the democratic votes for the republican budget or vice versa. there will be momentum to deal with the programs with a are reelected they would like more than 50% of the vote given the absence of the third party candidates that will be an unusual such a vision we haven't had a long time with a certain kind of mandate i think. but in any case, i think over the next five weeks i don't think. >> condra
